I had a first time snafu with a local UPS store shipping a gun today. New guy was at the counter and when I asked for additional insurance, he inquired what it was. When I told him, he said he would insure as machine parts. I said "no", I don't want an insurance defense of misrepresentation in case of loss. He said only the hub could ship guns and that the stores shipped guns as a courtesy but couldn't insure it as a gun. I hot-footed it to the USPS and shipped it registered. Gil
